C Q Nomads 2-3 Airbus UK Broughton - March 7th

Airbus ran rings around a dishevelled Nomads defence in the first half & looked like they'd run up a cricket score but they took their foot of the gas in the second period and were almost bitten on the bum for it as the home side suddenly scored two late goals to get the trembles going.

Gareth Sudlow could have opened the scoring after only 4', getting under a free back-post cross & heading over. Just after the quarter-hour mark a James McIntosh smash was cleared off the line from an angle at the near post as The 'Bus had the Nomads defence in a tangle in a goalmouth scramble.

On 20' Gio Feliciello had a golden chance as the ball dropped to him but delayed & only won a corner. From that, however, Airbus did score, Mark Allen tapping in on the line after a flick-on. Just two minutes later they added a second, Gareth Sudlow with a simple effort high into the net from a little lay-off. Then they had a couple of defensive lapses. First Matty Woodward slipped, letting Aden Shannon in but Chris Doran made a good save then the defence lost their cool, just escaping as the ball skimmed the post on its way out from the final shot. They were soon back up the other end, though, scoring again. Macca, Phil Molyneux & Ashley Williams stormed down the field on a single defender and after passing it around amongst each other Ashley finally put the ball in the net after they'd toyed with the keeper like three bullying cats with a mouse. They laid siege to the Nomads goal in the last five minutes of the half. Mark Allen flashed a shot wide; Macca should have scored when clean through, Terry McCormick getting down to his feet as he took it a little too far; Ashley Williams forced McCormick into a good save with a fair drive.

The smug Airbus following settled back at the start of the second half awaiting the rout and forecasting record scores but the game degenerated into a nothing affair, The 'Bus not extending themselves & The Nomads with little idea after an initial rush of enthusiasm, easily soaked up. Danny Desormeaux was waltzing through to score before the ball was smothered at his feet as he tried to walk it in and the goalie made a good save with his legs as Mark Allen slid in for a good attempt at the back post. Other than that it was pretty boring. Suddenly Connah's Quay got one back, a Ronnie Morgan header unable to be kept out by Doran and then got a penalty, awarded for a shove, promptly firmly dispatched by Liam Loughlin. It would hardly have been credible if they'd equalised and time ran out for them as Airbus stiffened up to preserve the points that takes them up to 8th place.
